I was in a state of deep distress.
The situation with the character named Basset was unsettling, to say the least. I had come here intending to take things lightly, but now my mind was swirling with complications.
'He thought I could just let this slide? That's absurd.'
If so, how could the word "evil" even be justified?
Initially, I was confused, but as time passed, my confusion turned into anger.
It was true that Basset was a homeless vagabond, but did poverty always equate to goodness? Absolutely not.
In any society, good and evil coexist. Moreover, human morality is often shaped by circumstances and environment.
'Let's not jump to conclusions.'
Everyone has a little devil inside their heart, and there might have been extenuating circumstances.
What if Basset had stolen out of fear, perhaps threatened to do so? I glanced at the prosecutor, who continued his questioning.
